			<h1>Nearly hit by a bus</h1>
			<p>Day 00737: Monday, 2017 March 13</p>

<section id="general">
	<h2>General news</h2>
	<p>
		I spent the morning doing laundry.
		I kind of put off laundry as long as I could this time, and I needed a clean uniform for work tonight.
		I think I&apos;ll do that again next time, too.
		The longer I put it off, the more laundry I can get washed at once.
	</p>
	<p>
		On my way home from work, I took a shortcut I knew I shouldn&apos;t have.
		It&apos;s not the first time I&apos;ve used this shortcut, but it <strong>*is*</strong> the first time I took it and wasn&apos;t paying much attention.
		I nearly got hit by a bus!
		The driver didn&apos;t seem to see me either.
		Scary.
		Maybe I&apos;ll start taking the slightly-longer route.
		It&apos;s far safer if I happen to let my mind wander.

		Jorge of <a href="http://www.freakspot.net/">Freak Spot</a> got in touch with me today to let me know about my certificate issue.
		As feared, my certificate for this website appears to be revoked when the website&apos;s viewed with a recent version of FireFox; Mozilla&apos;s revoked trust from StartSSL&apos;s root certificate.
		Jorge says the certificate doesn&apos;t appear to have the error when viewed through IceCat; my best guess is that the version of Firefox IceCat&apos;s based on probably isn&apos;t new enough for the certificate issue to have been introduced yet in.
		If anyone knows of a certificate &quot;authority&quot; offering gratis <abbr title="Transport Layer Security">TLS</abbr> certificate, please <a href="/en/a/contact.xhtml">let me know</a>!
		Due to my current situation, those certificates that only last up to three months are <strong>*not*</strong> a feasible option.
		Unless the certificate is good for at least a year, it&apos;s of less value than my current, &quot;untrusted&quot; certificate.
